My thoughts and prayers are with Correctional Officer Amanda Bakers family and friends. I also want to express my thanks for Amanda's for her dedication to keeping the public safe from those criminals she worked with. May our Lord keep her safe in heaven now. May her son always know how brave his Mom was every day that she walked through the gates of the correctional facility. May he also know that his mom loved him with all her heart and that she was trying to make a good life for him. Lord please let the family have faith throughout this time that she will continue to watch over them everyday.

These officers put their lives on the line every day. Too often, the thought is if it's a juvenile, not likely to have a bad outcome.
